Alive by Krewella takes over the #1 spot, since Spring Break was definitely their shot to get it and this song was definitely my Spring Break anthem this year. As a result, Heart Attack by Demi Lovato is pushed down to #2 after spending its first five weeks at #1. It's not done though
Also benefitting from Spring Break airplay is Austin Mahone. He zips 7 - 4 thanks to Spring Break airplay, as well as the fact that he celebrated his 17th birthday on Thursday. Happy birthday
.
After leaking yesterday, Selena Gomez's new song Come & Get It debuts at #20. It would have debuted higher had the release not been so messy so far. Also debuting this week, is the last 1992 bitch of the trinity, Miley Cyrus...with Snoop Lion at #30 with Ashtrays & Heartbreaks. This is the first time Miley, Demi & Selena have all been together with official singles all at the same time on this chart.
The last debut comes from Macklemore & Ryan Lewis f. Ray Dalton with Can't Hold Us at #37. Their other song, Thrift Shop, benefits from Spring Break airplay as it rebounds up 3 to #21.
Retiring this week is Figure 8 by Ellie Goulding. It retires after spending 20 weeks on the chart, peaking at #6. It was the winner of my February 2013 A List 40 game. It is Ellie Goulding's third retirement overall after Lights in August 2012 and Anything Could Happen in December 2012.
